Make-A-Wish North Texas

A huge thank you to our friends in Corsicana for bringing back the Farm-to-Table event to benefit Make-A-Wish! 💙✨ The event, generously hosted by Alisia and Heba, longtime wish granters and donors, raised $11,575 to grant life-changing wishes for local children. Your support brings hope, joy, and unforgettable experiences to kids and families right here in North Texas. We are so grateful for this incredible community coming together to make wishes come true! 🌟

This December, more than 90 children like Kylie will be diagnosed with a critical illness—turning everyday rhythms into fears of the unknown. This is the reality of what our wish families navigate. But they don’t have to go through it alone. While their medical teams do everything they can to heal their bodies, we as their community members can also support them. When they’re ready, we can be ready to gift them a wish experience all their own that restores a sense of control, childhood imagination, joy, and togetherness. Be that spark of hope today for a wish kid and give at makeholidaywishes.org. ✨💙

Thank you, Lubbock! Your support this Giving Tuesday is already creating hope for local children waiting for their life-changing wishes. Because of you, kids like Elizabeth are one step closer to the comfort, joy, and strength their wishes will bring. Your generosity brings hope home to kids waiting for their wishes. We couldn't do this without you.

From all of us at Make-A-Wish Texas Panhandle and the wish kids who will experience unforgettable moments because of your support during The Panhandle Gives, thank you! A special thank you to Wind's Eye Capital for their generous $5,000 matching gift — doubling the impact of every donation and ensuring even more wishes come true for local children facing critical illnesses. Your gifts create unforgettable experiences for kids like Hector, who recently enjoyed his shopping spree wish, and Corbin, who dreams of exploring the outdoors with his family. Each gift brings hope, joy, and a reminder of the incredible things a community can do when we come together. Thank you for making wishes come true!
